In the Ricardo’s bedroom, there is a framed portrait of an old man on Ricky’s dresser. It seems like I should recognize it. Does anybody know who it is or what it represents?

It’s not ringing any bells. Got a link to an image? Or to a youtube episode that includes it in a scene?

Completely blind guess, it’s Pepito the Clown. Old friend of Desi’s… and, in the end, the only person who had a complete reel of the I Heart Lucy pilot. (It was found under his bed when he died.)

[This is the best bedrrom pic I can find . . . doesn’t appear to be helpful to the OP, though.](http://irreverentmommy.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/tumblr_lauvwkpmax1qd76iqo1_500.jpg)

Sorry I can’t find a pic, but it is not the ones hanging above the bed. If you are looking at the bedroom from the foot of the beds (toward the headboards), Lucy’s dresser is on the left and Ricky’s dresser is on the right. It is a portrait on Ricky’s dresser. It is in plain view on episodes when someone is talking on the bedroom telephone (like the Grace Foster pearl necklace episode). It just bugs me.
